In the second bonus feature, the Scull Island bonus, you are taken to a separate screen where you get to choose from 13 locations on Skull Island. Pick 3 revealed dinosaaurs and you get up to $2000, pick 3 King Kongs and you win up to $3,000

Big city mode also offers two bonus features. Like Jungle mode there’s a re-spins feature offering three re-spins which is triggered by three of more wilds. In City Tower bonus King King needs you need to knock down the three towers with each knock down leafing to a cash prize.

Kong: 8th Wonder of the World is a game that provides players with a wide variety of ways to win and, while the jackpots on offer are not enormous when compared to other similar video pokies, the re-spin features with additional, expanding and sticky wilds mean that there are good opportunities for significant, multi-payline wins.
